        Every time we celebrate & honour Mama Winnie Mandela there's always those that bring up that she killed or ordered the killing of 14 year old Stompie Seipei / Moeketsi (RIP) This thread of videos will shed some light on the matter & clear her name. #WinnieMandela pic.twitter.com/vGOzEm93Qh

        Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was NOT Nelson Mandela's widow. He divorced her many years ago, after her flagrant infidelity and her totally radical and embarrassing politics. She recently lost a lawsuit for part of Mr Mandela's estate.

        Listen. I LIVED it. You probably read the sanitised version. I truly and honestly respect her sacrifices for her cause. I respect that she had a very hard life. But she is NOT the widow of Mr Mandela. Mrs Graca Machel is Mr Mandela's widow.

        What is disrespectful? These are FACTS? It is EXTREMELY disrespectful and rude to Mrs Machel, who supported and carried Mr Mandela through his last years, to call Winnie Mr Mandela's widow.

        May God have more mercy on her soul than she had on those who she doused with burning tires ("necklacing") back in the anti-apartheid protests of the 80s.

        I googled it. I just learned a new swear word. Well, have a good day oppressing white South Africans and ruining whatever sympathy we Americans might have had for your country.
